Sadly, grandparents are also missing out on family time – over two-fifths of respondents in Glasgow admitted to not seeing their grandfathers for more than 12 months. We were followed by Londoners (24 per cent), Mancunians (21 per cent) and Dubliners (14 per cent).

Almost half of all those surveyed claim distance is the main reason stopping them from seeing their families – although 54 per cent thought they would see their relatives more often if travel was easier and cheaper.

Glyn Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Stobart Aviation, owners of London Southend Airport said: “The people of Glasgow have put their money where their heart is – even if their mum lives in a different city, more than 40 per cent are resolute on seeing them almost weekly.

“But it’s heart-breaking to discover that some grandchildren are just not seeing enough of their grandparents. Many respondents claim they live too far away. Perhaps it’s also because we spend so much of our lives online that we tend to chat on social media instead. But nothing beats being there, especially as Christmas gallops towards us."

Hopefully we'll get to see more of our family as the festive season approaches.
